AC Milan were eliminiated from the Champions League semi-finals at the hands of Inter last night. A bitter defeat with a 3-0 score on aggregate. Our editor, Sultan Al Shammari brought you his opinion on the club's situation. Here are his words:
This is how football is, full of details. However, the truth prevails after one loses and how the club deals with it. Nowadays, the beautiful sport is not played on the pitch only. Success starts on different factors. In the past, it was only measured and based on number of trophies won thanks to the resources made available to make purchases. Today, though, it is a different matter. To build a winning team, you need different details, which were not all made available to the Rossoneri club.
What is the solution?
What should AC Milan do then?
AC Milan needs patience, and a lot of it. This is what the club directors, either Paolo Maldini, Frederic Massara or even Zvonimir Boban have done so far. Today, we can talk of revenue around 350 million euros. AC Milan have various challenges on technical levels and there are laws to abide by. Would you be willing to see AC Milan get by each season, or for the club to be well-established and competitive for many years to come?
A sporting project is for years, and not for two seasons. Therefore, it doesn't matter who is the responsible one here, but what matters is how the project carries on now.
Strategically speaking, economically, and on a sporting level, there have been mistakes, that is true. But, can they be rectified? Yes. Are these mistakes of natural occurence? Yes. Is the club in a catastrophic state? No.
Speaking from a sporting level, economic aspect and the vision for the future: this club has the best plan in Italy. That is why we must remain patient now.
We are all Milan fans, but cheering the club on is not done by shouting, because that's an easy thing to do...
Forza Milan
كرة القدم يوم لك ويوم عليك …
تعيشها بكل تفاصيلها، ولكن الحقيقة تتضح عندما تخسر وكيف تتعاطى مع ظروفها !اليوم كرة القدم لا تُلعب فقط في أرضية الملعب، هناك عوامل وأسباب للعمل..
مقاييس النجاح بناءً على النجاحات، في السابق كان منظور النجاح فقط مبني على الفوز بالبطولات بسبب القدرة… pic.twitter.com/F8K86IyTPT
